Kitsmith / Utilities / Apps Are Go
An unlimited-dock app and script launcher — the maintained successor to the discontinued DragThing.
Our take
Built explicitly as a replacement for DragThing, the app/document launcher many longtime Mac users ran for over two decades before it stopped being developed: any number of customizable docks, each with tabs, holding apps, documents, folders, and AppleScript/shell scripts, triggered by click or a global keyboard shortcut. From Steve Mills, an independent Mac developer.
